Stop the War Coalition

Stop the War Coalition

Welcome to the Taunton Deane Stop the War Coalition Website

Next Meeting - Monday 8th September, 8pm Perkin Warbeck.

AS THE OCCUPATION BEGINS... WHAT NOW FOR THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT?

Defend George Galloway MP - The Stop the War Coalition fully supports George Galloway against this vicious witch-hunt. Galloway's crime has been his principled opposition to the war on Iraq. The Stop the War Coalition calls for George Galloway's suspension from the Labour Party to be lifted immediately and for an independent inquiry into whether there has been collusion between British security services and others against the MP. We would strongly urge you to do the following:

Write/phone/fax David Triesman at the Labour Party demanding that Mr Galloway's suspension is lifted immediately. Details as follows:

David Triesman
The Labour Party
16 Old Queen Street
London SW1H 9HP
